I’m so sick of rain. Especially, since I decided to run my Jeep topless all year. I know it’s a stupid thing to do when living in Colorado at 8000ft, but I like to challenge myself.

It’s part of me being a modern mountain man. Back in the day the mountain men just had horses and mules. They didn’t have tops. 😀

There’s no turning back now. I gave my top and doors to a young guy who just bought a Jeep that didn’t have a top/doors. It would cost me $2000 to buy it again, and that isn’t going to ever happen. So, i’m Topless Pete now.

That’s true. I wonder every time I get in the Jeep if it’s going to start. It’s been in some good thunderstorms and is still kicking. Time will tell.

One thing that happens that I haven’t found a cure for yet. Driving in the rain the wiper clear the windshield of course. However, they only clear the outside of it. The rain curls over the top of the windshield and hits the inside too. I have no way to keep the rain off the inside of the glass. I could lay the windshield down, but then i’d get a faceful. I’d have to wear goggles and that would look silly. I’m still working on that problem. Maybe a small squeegee will work.

It’s in Salida. If what you’re talking about is what they call the small Ark. It’s just a creek. I’ve fished it right behind ArkAnglers store in Salida. It was private land owned by the owner of ArkAnglers.
